Great examples of maritime folk art and terrific talk today by @HesterBlum on Inner Lives of Sailors -- @mysticseaport.
Hey, @ChrisForsberg_ -- no @EnesKanter podcast on YouTube this week? Wednesday's not the same!
🆕 The @EnesKanter Show
On Episode 11, Enes details why he grew up a Lakers fan, meeting Kobe as a teenager, and playing his first NBA game against Bryant.
Plus, avoiding the “Miami Flu,” beefing with Perk on Twitter, and no more full-court heaves.

Not to judge a book by its cover -- but this looks fantastic. Can't wait to read it, @SimonReadBooks!
Thrilled to reveal the cover for THE IRON SEA. Thanks to the team @HachetteBooks for the striking design. It has a cold, gritty feel to it that I really like! Release date will be later this year . . . (more details, naturally, to follow). #books
Sure, you've heard of Blackbeard but there's so much more to the story. A sweeping maritime history of piracy and the Chesapeake Bay available for pre-order now.

Lost in Shangri-La (by @mitchellzuckoff) is such a great read. Glad to hear this news.
Some exciting news: professor @mitchellzuckoff will be adapting his best-selling WWII survival epic “Lost in Shangri-La” for the big screen with agent and writing partner Richard Abate and @SonyPictures' Elizabeth Gabler.

Courtesy of the @TheHistoryList, a video of me talking about the fight at the North Bridge in Concord while walking over the North Bridge in Concord, plus how to order autographed copies of THE ROAD TO CONCORD for the history fan in your life (or clothes): buff.ly/2KkYvbj
The first week of May in 1724, a pirate ship sailed into Boston harbor -- but most of the pirates were already dead.
